Score 4, 1 (3) Our expert audiologists offer personalized, state-of-the-art hearing tests and prescribe the most technologically advanced hearing aids at our Cork clinic. Back to Hearing Aids and Implants The specialist can also provide you with an individual treatment plan. This plan shows you how your hearing loss will be treated with hearing aids. Adults with a medical card can also get free hearing aids.
If you have health insurance, check if your policy covers the cost of hearing aids. If it doesn't cover the costs, you can request a tax relief for hearing aids. You'll get an appointment to have your mold and hearing aid fitted. The mold is usually ready within a few weeks.
The hearing aids are placed in a clinic. Sometimes, hearing aids are placed the same day as the hearing test. For example, this could happen if you need an open-ear hearing aid that doesn't need an ear mold. Sarah Good, coordinator of the Cork Deaf Association, encourages people to participate in the week and to learn about the support available.
The Cork Association of the Deaf, Cork's advocacy group for the deaf or hard of hearing, will offer free hearing tests today (Monday) at its MacCurtain Street facilities, as part of Cork's Hearing Loss Awareness Week, a series of events that will take place between Monday 17 and 21 October.
